Landa: Actually that post I placed here on AFF was first placed on my own review boards to...shall we say two more in-depth reviews on my own site. It wasn't a tailored response to the comments here, more like, well let the readers know where I stand period. I welcome both positive and negative reviews, especially con-crits. As far as the OMG's go, that's fine...but I've been in actual critique sessions where I've had my work shredded to my face no matter who gushed over it. lol. Of course that was poetry, not stories. And poets can be ugly. Anyway,as a result I'm about as sensitive as a rock when writing. My soul isn't invested in these stories, even if my libido is. If you've read my stories...there are elements about both Hermione and Severus that do remain the same throughout my stories...sort of my own kind of AU canon...the Potions Master as a snarky rough riding sex god and Hermione being a masochist...if she weren't there would be no way the two could tangle. There are some subtle differences in this Severus and Hermione however. He doesn't begin as a rough-riding sex god, and she is fully aware she is a masochist. Remember I am portraying characters that I see in a particular way, in different situations. It is the plot surrounding the couple that makes it interesting imo, as well as their interactions based on that plot. It is the plot that is (hopefully) unpredictable. Anyone who reads my stories knows that whatever happens, Severus and Hermione are going to end up together. Period. Happily or unhappily :::shrugs::: so far happily. As for my shields, well, they've been down and were only raised so I could regain my focus on the storyline...now I am flying through perfectly clear white space, tapping out this tale. As for looking for me, I haven't gone anywhere my dear. Trust me, I'm still here. :) Thank you for your comments.

Landa: I realized I didn't answer another question, about the "rape" warning. None of my stories are plotted in advance, so I really don't know exactly what they will contain until I actually write it. In this instance, space for details is also an issue. I will have to rewrite the details again to include "non-consenual" and "anal" which another reader complained about and I apologized for. They don't give you much room. I wish there was an all-inclusive term. Maybe "Warning: Unsavory Sexual Acts Possible" might cover until the story is actually finished. I'll have to think about that.

A Harper?
Ohhhh you're good Ms Figg, you are good. =D
Great chapter, I really would love to hear Snape play the violin. One of my favourite instruments...and I wouldn't mind riding his instrument of pleasure, either. hehe

I agree with Ms Figg when she said not having Hermione as a masochist and Snape as a rough rider wouldn't work. God you'd have to love pain when you're with him.
And I think this story is unpredictable, like most of her other ones so far that I've read. She's introduced some different Hermione's and Snape's into the past and I come into reading her stories trying not to expect a certain Snape because she'll complete surprise me. And that's just the characters, her plots are even more unpredictable. I would have never guessed Snape would be the Harper.

The rape scene totally went over my head. After I read it I didn't even think of rape. I still don't think it was a rape scene because Hermione consented before he had anal sex with her, and he even lubed her. I think he was surprisingly tender with her as he would not have been if he was raping her.

Oooooooh, for some weird reason right in the middle of the chapter when he was staring at the sheet music and was guessing what the notes were I figured he probably plays something, and it better be a fucking violin. But holy shit, what a violin it is! I cant wait for the next chapterrrrs! =D

yay lots of steamy smut!!! lol omg that was sooo funny. I don't think Hermione should goad Severus too much I mean he's just getting started it seems. lol it also seems they are perfectly matched in that department. I cannot wait to see what happens next, Keep up the good work.
